ARMISTICE DAY This is tile day of glorious memo- 1 ries. It is a day of rejoicing as it was nine years ago when the cables’ flashed the welcome news that peace had come, but it is a day of proud sorrow too, sorrow for the reinemI bered dead who bad found peace ear- < Her than their living comrades, but whose places are vacant in eighty i thousand homes today. I it is these lads whose brave young faces come between many watching eyes and the marching forms of those who came back from France. And ( it'is of these whose blue stars on the ( service flag turn to gold that most j of us will be thinking when the flag t goes by today—the flag for which ( they gave their all and by that sacri- ( fice imposed upon their countrymen a ; sc red trust—-the responsibility making certain that their lives were not laid down in vain. I, It may be well for us all on this j Armistic ■ Day 1927, so many years ( since the nation thrilled with patrio- v tic fervor, to ponder deeply what we f have done, what we are going to do, j to keep faith with those who sleep "over there.”. It is the age-old bat-* ( tie between the ideals of freaj me» j and the aspirations of those wlib! would govern by might, it 'is the : struggle of mankind to throw off the ' shackles of apprehension, the blight 7 - of war, the curse of suspicion, hatred;. and intrigue, and to realize the prill- 1 . ciples of that democracy which is the | truest aristocracy—freedom of the i spirit, freedom of opportunity, free- ■ dom of aspiration, freedom to realize! that there is for the race tife hope' of more abundant life, of greater use-', fulness, of the real happiness of labor 1 , and achievement, without the shadow j of unnecessary conflict, of misunder- i standing and of sordid striving for power. i 1 Devotion to peace is not weakness. I History recotds no braver deeds than those of men who hated war, no men 1 have loved their country better nor 1 fought more bravely than many who! also loved peace, but who loved duty more. Mankind must find the way out of the jungle of international misunderstanding, of warlike preparations and of wicked machinations of ambitious rulers and faithless leaders 1 in many lands or it will destroy itself ] And while on Arrnisice Day we rededicate ourselves to Lhe ctukade which has for its purpose the extermination of the wild beasts of this jungle, it must be remembered that until they are exterminated, it is our solemn i duty to be on guard to protect our birthright of liberty under the law and all else that constitutional government guarantees. A conference of experts including the technical engineer of the HollandSt. Lou I > Sugar Company, members of the state conservation department, Fortt Wayne city officials, the president of the Isaac Walton chapter and 'others will be held here next Wednes- • day to discuss ways of remedying the polution of the St. Marys river. This is not a new problem but a persis- . tent qne, notwithstanding the fact that the sugar company has spent large sums at various intervals to prevent river polution. The low water this year has made the condition worse than usual this year it is said. ’ Complaints have been made by sev «eral citizens north of Decatur and by numerous Fort V\ ayne people. * • ' .— Os coufse we are for an Old Home

Week it the community wants it and it begins to look as though they did. 1 A motion that the board of directors [of the Decatur Industrial Association 1 organize a commltte for that purpose ' was unanimously carried and plans will be made, we are informed so that 'the work can bo started early next year, - invitations will be sent to every [former resident whose address can be 'secured and a program arranged that 1 will provide a big week for them and every one here, jf we do it, let's do it right. Therefore today let our pledge to I our living heroes and to those who [ sleep in honored graves be that, as a people, we shall strive toward those ideals, that will bring peace to a war-' weary world, hope to all peoples, opportunity to realize the fullness of Ilf? and to maintain a government whose highest function is to safeguard the right of its citizens to dwell in peace with other nations and with their fellows at home. Because the police did not enforce the traffic ordinances to tlw last letter. we heard many critisms. Now ter. we heard many criticisms. Now commendations but do we? The üblic is hard to please and the official usually gets razzed whether he does or does not. T’was ever thus and probably always will be. It begins to look as though some one wak making an effort to talk Clyde Wall) out of the $50,000 he feels he should have for resigning as state chairman. Ea h day now they are discovering some thing that is evi dently intended to make his position impossible. To the Adams County Witness politics is a "game” but they don’t say just what kind. It seems in some cases to resemble most that game in which the professional, some times has four of a kind up his sleeve. Most accidents happen when som one does not care enough to be careful. 4:«*«*¥****** ♦ i * TWENTY YEARS AGO * * *| * From the Daily Democrat File ¥ Twenty Years Ago Today * *¥¥¥¥¥*******' Nov. 11—Toledo Brewing company repairing quartets on East Monroe street.
